went and collected a few more bits from escort-tec the other day
first up, a pair of wings
new tailgate
and a new bonnet
the tailgate needs a little touching up in one spot and the wings need to be repaired slightly but a dam site better than what's fitted atm and the bonnets just has a couple of patchs of surface rust on the underside so just a rub down needed for that
not sure wether to crack on an fit the new panels as and when i get them or hold out for the other bits to arrive, take it off the road and sort it all out in one go? and just fill all the bad bits for now and make it look as pressentable as i can for summer??
in between collecting parts and work i'v been slowly sorting through the wireing, this is the first time iv had a proper go at wireing so im taking my time and fingers crossed it'l all work first time lol
this is the wireing to the instrument cluster
for some reason someone has cut every wire at some point and connected it all back up with bullet connectors :banghead: why they felt the need to do that i dont know?
so i'v gone through each wire, removed the bullet connectors and soldered the wires together and heat shrinked them :thumbsup:
still have quite abit of wireing to sort through but im stuck with the heater blower switch atm, there 3 wires coming out the back of the switch, 1 brown (earth?) 1 brown+ red and 1 brown + white wire and i have a brown coming from the blower which i assume is earth again? and a brown and purple wire (i think, cant really remember now) so with the switch, is the brown/red wire power live to the switch and the other brown/white wire the switch live to the blower?
if someone could point me in the right driection with this that would be awesome!!
this is all that was there...
if anyone has any wireing diagrams they could post up id be soo greatfull!!
i was hoping to do abit more wireing after work today but it was dark by the time i got home so decided to have a bash at making a plate/bracket to hold the fuse box under the dash and came up with this...
old glow worm boiler side casing lol
and what i ended up with...
i still need to cut the middle out for the fuse box to sit into, paint it and mount it in the car but this is only temporary anyway, idealy id like to re-do it at some point in ally and make it look abit more fancy.
hopfully get abit more done tomorrow weather and work permitting ofcourse.
